The 2022 men’s U.S. Open is set to begin Aug. 29 at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, N.Y., where Daniil Medvedev will look to overcome his injury-riddled first half of the year to pull off a rare repeat as U.S. Open champion. Here, we’ll take a look at the 2022 U.S. Open odds to provide you with the necessary information to bet on the event.
2022 U.S. Open Betting Odds
Three-time champion U.S. Open champion Novak Djokovic won’t be competing in 2022, and that opens the door for a handful of players to make a run at the championship.
The most notable beneficiary might be Daniil Medvedev, who defeated Djokovic in last year’s tournament final. He’ll return to New York to defend his U.S. Open title, but the 26-year-old Russian was forced to lay low for almost two months earlier this year due to hernia surgery. Post-surgery, he’s still looking to regain the form that brought him his first major last year.
Below is a list of the 2022 U.S. Open odds per FanDuel Sportsbook.
- Daniil Medvedev +230
- Rafael Nadal +380
- Carlos Alcaraz +500
- Nick Kyrgios +1000
- Stefanos Tsitsipas +1600

Who Are the Favorites at the U.S. Open?
Daniil Medvedev (+230)
The aforementioned Medvedev’s odds are a bit surprising considering his recent struggles, but oddsmakers are respecting the defending champ and his hardcourt prowess. If the world No. 2 can regain his old form, he’ll deserve every bit of the respect oddsmakers are showing him.
Rafael Nadal (+380)
The King of Clay hasn’t been too shabby on hardcourts in his career, and that includes the four U.S. Open titles under his belt. His U.S. Open odds have come all the way down from +850 since he’s already captured two Grand Slam titles this year and won’t have to go through Djokovic.
Carlos Alcaraz (+500)
Alcaraz has been climbing the ATP rankings for over a year now, but his glorious run at the Madrid Open earlier this year officially burst his under-the-radar bubble. The up-and-comer has been one of tennis’ best in 2022 and will look to build on his already-impressive resume.
U.S. Open Overview
The 2022 U.S. Open will serve as the 142nd edition of the tournament and it will be the fourth and final Grand Slam of the year, as it has been since 1987. The tournament is played at Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, home to the famous Arthur Ashe Stadium, and boasts 22 outdoor courts in total. The 2021 purse of over $57 million was the largest package in tournament history, with champion Daniil Medvedev taking home $2.5 million.
